Chapter 87 Going into the mountains to collect ginseng
Xiao Li, is this where you found ginseng?
Lu Qing looked at the surrounding environment and asked Xiaoli who was standing on his shoulder.
At this moment, he was deep in the mountains, dozens of miles away from Jiuli Village.
The surrounding jungle is dense and the trees are towering, full of primitive atmosphere.
The mountains inside and outside are really like two worlds.
Lu Qing felt much more relaxed since he knew that the Black Wolf Gang was suppressed by the Wei family and would not be able to find trouble with him in a short period of time.
Start thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity to quickly grow your strength.
As long as his strength improves, he will naturally no longer have to worry about the small Black Wolf Gang.
But now, the easiest thing for him to improve is the power of Qi and blood.
After understanding the secret of Qi and Blood perfection, there is no bottleneck for Lu Qing in the Qi and Blood realm.
As long as the elixir can keep up, he can increase his energy and blood power unscrupulously.
However, due to the previous practice, the bottle of blood-enhancing and qi-replenishing pills refined by the master has been almost consumed.
So after some thinking, Lu Qing decided to take Xiaoli into the mountains and collect the wild ginseng he had discovered before.
This is also the reason why Lu Qing appears in the mountains now.
Ouch~
Xiao Li barked, nodded, and pointed in a certain direction with his paw.
Lu Qing immediately activated his superpower and began to check nearby.
Ignoring those common medicinal materials, Lu Qing's current goal is only ginseng.
After some searching, he soon made a discovery.
[Ginseng: a precious medicinal herb, edible and non-toxic. 】
[This ginseng plant has a good growth year and is fifty years old. 】
Looking at the ginseng plant glowing with white light in his field of vision, Lu Qing was a little disappointed.
This ginseng plant was not a century old, and the light it emitted was only white. Its preciousness was far less than the two plants Xiaoli gave him.
Without touching the newly discovered ginseng, Lu Qing continued to search.
Fifty-year-old wild ginseng is still considered precious even if it is placed in a drug store outside.
But now Lu Qing doesn't think much of him.
So he decided to look for it again.
It didn't take long for him to gain something again.
[Ginseng: a precious medicinal herb, edible and non-toxic. 】
[This ginseng plant has an average growth year, only five years old, and its medicinal effect is average. 】
Unexpectedly, the ginseng found this time was much worse than the last one. It was only five years old.
Totally the little brat among ginseng.
No, are you so unlucky?
Looking at the information given by the superpower, Lu Qing was a little stunned.
I don't believe it!
Lu Qing started searching again.
In fact, he could ask Xiaoli directly, but he didn't.
He fell into a somewhat unwilling mentality.
Even Xiaoli, a little beast who doesn't know anything about medicinal materials, was able to pick two hundred-year-old ginseng plants. He was familiar with the Baicao Jing and had supernatural powers. Could it be that he still couldn't find a hundred-year-old ginseng plant?
Next, Lu Qing found several more ginseng plants, but without exception, none were more than a hundred years old, and the oldest one was only eighty years old.
However, seeing that the 80-year-old ginseng was still emitting white light, Lu Qing still did not pick it.
Could it be that the only two hundred-year-old ginseng here that Xiaoli dug are the two?
After discovering a 30-year-old ginseng plant again, Lu Qing couldn't help but become suspicious.
Probably not, otherwise Xiaoli wouldn't have brought me here.
Lu Qing continued to search, and finally, half an hour later, he found something.
However, after seeing the ginseng discovered this time, he was stunned.
[Ginseng: a precious medicinal herb, non-toxic and edible. 】
[This ginseng has been grown for a long time, more than two hundred years ago.]
[Legend has it that ginseng has various magical effects. Ginseng that is old enough seems to have psychic abilities and can give birth to spiritual wisdom. 】
Two hundred years!
Lu Qing's eyes widened when he looked at the ginseng plant on the ground that was glowing white with red light.
He didn't expect that he would be frustrated again and again, and all he found were small ginseng of average vintage.
Now, he was given such a big one all at once!
The 200-year-old ginseng was stronger than the two plants Xiaoli picked.
Even the ginseng that the Wei family brought to Master a while ago to use to condition the body of Young Master Wei didn't seem to be of this age.
This is a truly rare treasure!
This time I finally got lucky.
Looking at the ginseng plant on the ground, Lu Qing suppressed his excitement and immediately put down the medicine basket he was carrying, took out a bundle of red rope and a medicine hoe, and prepared to start digging.
Lu Qing first tied the red rope to the ginseng.
This is the rule of medicine collectors. When encountering rare medicinal materials such as ginseng, they must be tied with a red rope first to prevent it from suddenly burrowing into the soil and escaping when digging.
If it were Lu Qing in his previous life, he would definitely not believe such a thing.
But now, he has even experienced time travel.
There are also magical creatures like Xiaoli and Qiyu in this world. The information given by supernatural powers also says that ginseng has the possibility of psychic.
If he doesn't believe it anymore, he's stupid.
So even though he knew that the ginseng plant in front of him was probably not psychic yet, Lu Qing still followed the rules of the herb collector and tied the red string first.
After tying the red rope, Lu Qing began to dig carefully.
First, clean up the surrounding weeds, then use a medicinal hoe to slowly dig along the growth lines of the ginseng.
During the whole process, Lu Qing did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
A strand of ginseng root of this age is valuable and has strong medicinal effects.
He is not an incomprehensible little beast like Xiaoli.
He would be heartbroken if he accidentally dug up such a rare and precious medicinal material.
Fortunately, as a martial artist who has reached the perfection of Qi and blood, Lu Qing still has strong control over himself.
With his careful attention, he finally dug out this ginseng plant that was more than 200 years old flawlessly.
Lu Qing couldn't help but smile when he looked at the old wild ginseng in his hand with all its roots intact and without any damage.
The blood-tonifying and qi-tonifying elixir refined from the two-hundred-year-old wild ginseng must be much stronger than the one that is hundreds of years old.
With this ginseng, the days until he reaches the perfect state of Qi and Blood can be greatly shortened.
Xiao Li was a little confused when he saw Lu Qing's silly smile.
Isn't it just digging a piece of grass? Why is this guy smiling like a fool?
After admiring the ginseng that he had picked for a while, Lu Qing wrapped it with a piece of turf, tied it with a red string, and put it into the medicine basket.
After doing all this, he straightened up and looked at the forest in front of him, his eyes filled with excitement.
Since ginseng that is more than two hundred years old can be produced here, is it possible that there are even older ginseng hidden there?
